Broken profile images from Twitter and Facebook
From 2 comments
if facebook picture isn't public, shows broken image. Also would like to add my own links. Maybe provide a few additional fields with a generic web icon.

Requests
Add a custom website or blog link
From 3 comments
Why can't I add my own website to my signature?
te_chris on HN+1 totally agree. think this is the biggest oversight of an otherwise cool service. needs to include your personal website/blog & company site/blog as options
timmyd on HNwould be great to allow you to link to a blog

Add Stack Overflow, GitHub and Hacker News icons
From 2 comments
Please add a stackoverfow icon? As a developer, SO is basically my resume.
chubs on HN>Perhaps add hackernews as well as an option? I'm sure a lot of people would love that. GitHub is also a must.

Add about.me and flavors.me

Can you add about.me?
quizbiz on HNIt's a bit of an indie site, but http://endor.se could also be interesting as an optional addition. flavors.me and a general website link would also be great.

Rapportive
From 1 comment
You're right. We were inspired to do this after using rapportive and finding it very useful to have the picture of the person who is emailing you show up.
